Poetically profound interpretation by Nataliya Medvedovskaya of the fourth "Presto Strepitoso" movement of Lowell Liebermann's extraordinary Sonata No. 1 in C Major at Bargemusic, August 4, 2011. In her review of the concert, Rorianne Schrade wrote, "The first half ended with Lowell Liebermann's Piano Sonata, Op. 1, composed at age fifteen (1976).

Ms. Medvedovskaya gave it a cogent performance, with a particularly rousing fourth movement finale" (New York Concert Review, August 15, 2011).
